We opted not to have a big birthday party for Amélie this year, mainly since I know she'll be asking for one with all of her friends in the coming years. I thought we should keep it small with just family and it was a perfect way to celebrate this year. We headed up to Nonno & Nonna's house and luckily had sunny weather for a really lovely Sunday lunch ending with lots of birthday presents.
Menu
Strawberry Lemonade
(made with just blended strawberries, lemon juice, honey & water)
Grilled Herb Shrimp Skewers
Grilled Steak
Grilled Chicken with Barbecue Sauce
Vegetable Skewers
Caprese
Zucchini and Spring Onion Orzo
Assorted Berries
Homemade Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Whipped Cream Icing* and Chocolate Sprinkles
*this is my new favorite - just some heavy or double cream whipped up with powdered sugar, vanilla extract & cocoa powder
Amélie was the cutest when we sang happy birthday to her. She had the sweetest expression on her face and you could tell the pure joy she was feeling. I still can't believe my baby girl is already three years old. Here are some pictures from the past weekend and another post dedicated to Amélie will follow soon too!
